Knight Models have now released the miniatures for this month to join their growing roster of Batman Miniatures Game models. See what you think of a whole bunch of crazies including Scarecrow and The Wonderland Gang amongst others…

Gangs Of Gotham

The first two sets that we’re going to look at ones that we’ve seen in the previews last week. Scarecrow’s Militia are a deadly group and Scarecrow himself is looking awesome in his long trench coat and hood with the ruined face beneath it.

Following on from that grim face of fear and death we have the Wonderland Gang who look veritably enchanting next to Scarecrow. They have a very different look to some of the other range, drawing more on that cartoon comic look, which has led some people to grumble as to how they’ll fit into the rest of the range.

I think they will be good for adding a splash of colour to the game and obviously the gang itself are going to be something different for Batman and his pals to face.

Foes Of The Bat

As well as the gangs coming together there are some individuals who have a score to settle with Batman and at one time or another might have considered themselves allies of his. See what you think of the Arkham Knight…

…who is running forward to take on the Batman. I think that his helmet could do with a little bit more detail (IF you had the fine detail brush and steady hand for it) to try and represent the digital array there. They also have a comic book version of Talia Al Ghul.

Last but not least there is a single model for boosting the power of the bad guys when under the control of the likes of the Arkham Knight and Scarecrow. The Militia Brute is ready to start smashing apart his foes and shocking them into submission.

Do you think he’s going to be challenge enough for Batman? They were certainly a bit of a pain to deal with when it came to the video game.

There is already a sword armed version based on Arkham City, so this is a clear alternative option.

Couple of interesting points her rules. She is a sidekick for both league of shadows and Lex Corp, who havent appeared in BMG before. This raises the question of if Knight Models are planning to bring Justice League into BMG and what impact that would have. Can Superman or Wonderwoman be balanced to work in a game that is mostly about gangs of thugs and fist fighting?

The other curious thing about the new Talia is that she loses the ability to be taken in a gang with Batman but retains the ‘true love Bruce Wayne’ rule which does nothing if she is not in the same crew. That suggests a new Bruce Wayne character to come, maybe a Bruce in training with the League like in Batman Begins?
